Established in 2022, Phi Eta Sigma's Member of Distinction program gives students a chance to earn a commendation and a special level of distinction by participating in qualifying national and local chapter events. In addition to earning this significant honor, Members of Distinction will receive exclusive graduation regalia, special programming opportunities, and a commendation to include on Phi Eta Sigma scholarship applications.
​
For the 2024-25 academic year, students earn Member of Distinction status by
- Maintaining a 3.5 GPA or higher
- Being a member in good standing with their local chapter
- Earning at least 4 qualifying points related to our core values of developing one's mind, health, and character and involvement in local, regional, or national programming. Students can earn points in any combination of the point catergories.
Students can apply for Member of Distinction beginning in January, and the deadline each year is April 1.
